According to another vet-- Skit of the fable, his Imperial Majesty had been his own executioner. Although the rumour was in •TPry mouth, no one could tell the source from whence it emanated. We feel no hesitation in ascribing it to the Bears, whose case, the belief of inch a catastrophe might help, on Thursday.

Alorning, 54 minutes after 8.1 Erening, 26 minutes after 9. embarking 1500 cavalry near Navarino, ha(' sailed with a fleet of 150 sail, as it was conjec tured, for Corinth, with a view of attempting to carry the place by a coup de main. M. FA [WI Eit had arrived ►►t Athens with his newly organized corl►s, the discipline and good order of which had excited great surprise. It appears, however, that shortly after their arrival, a quarrel wits► the undisciplined troops had led to a disturbance of so threatening a..nature, that the inhabitants of the city thought it necessary to provide for their safety, by closing the gates against them. A letter from Smyrna notices the return of a Turkish Officer, after a captivity of six month.; among the Greeks. It is asserted by this in dividual; that the Greeks are heartily tired of the war—and of their Provisional Govern ment : the dread of Turkish revenge, alone restrains them from submitting. If the Divan have really come to the resolution of treating with the Greeks, as is reported from. Constan tinople, a general amnesty will bean indispensable preliminary. The Turks have been too seriously harrassed by the conflict with Greece, to hesi tate on this point : SYnA, DEC. 21). The Egyptian fleet, which has arrived at Navarino, has only disembarked aboUt 1,800 . horse.. The rest of the troops, about 12,000 foot, went off with the squadron, which con sists of 120 sail. Ibrahim Pasha, who is on hoard, was direct ing his course ' as some think, to issolonghi, while others consider Corinth as the point of destination. The coast is most probable, as it is too l a t e to - undertake the si ege o f a pl ace so surroundill with marshes as Alismoloughi. Corinth may be sur prised and taken by a coup tic mobs, which would enable Ihrtiiiin to take Napoli di Romania in the rear. Troops, under Fabius, at Athens, have had tt violent dispute with the irregulars there --several were killed, and the inhabitants of Athens shut their gates, refusing them entrance into the city. The Ilydriot di vision is the only one that keeps the sea ; that of Spezzia is on a cruise, And the Insara division is at Syra in consequence of the crews not having been paid. SMYRNA, DEC. I. The Grand Ecuyer of the Capitan Pacha, who has been a prisoner with the Greeks for the last six mouths has arrived here. lie hays, that several principal officers of the Greek navy do not hesitate to acknowledge that the Greeks are tired of the war, being extremely discontented with the Provisional Govern ment, and that they were disposed to listen to terms could they be assured of an amnesty. This, however, they dare not hope for—submission leading, as they imagine, only to certain de structiOn. Letters have been received from Calcutta, to the end of August, by the Crown, which arrived at Liverpool on Sunday. The advices by this arrival contain but little, in addition to the intelligence previously received. The army, under Sir A LEXANnEtt CAMPIIRI.L, continues to be afflicted with disease, which had pro. duced a frightful mortality. Notwithstand ing the repeated defeats► sustained by the Burmese, their resistance still continued ob stinate, our troops being incessantly , harassed by daring attacks from detached parties. A per. foct knowledge of the country enabled them to choose their point of attack, bud suddenly sally ing out of the jungle, many of our posts had suf. fered severely, by attacks from an enemy unseen, and unexpected, till the moment that their Are opened• At Calttitta, 'tient ravages had been matte amongst the nntive population by chokra ,no bui r hint the disease hnd not extended to the Euro pean residents.

These letters also, contain * printed Bulletin of the 19th October, announcing a signal defeat sustained by the Brazilian troops in the Banda Oriental, and adding, that they were in full retreat towards Rio Grand. Thu following is the substance of the Bulletin. On the 10th of October, the whole of, the Patriot forces encountered the whole of the Imperial army in Ln Oxqueta de Sarandi, and routed the latter after a sharp cots. fiat. Upwards of 100 officers and 800 privates are prisoners; the field of battle is strewed %with , dead bodies for more than three leagues ; the whole of the enemy's cavalry is destroyed. Ma. jor VELASCO is the bearer.of the dispatches from the field of battle. It was a Russian Officer who brought the dis patches from St. Petersburg), to Count LIEYEN, the Russian Ambassador, on Sunday morning.-- The Officer arrived at Wright's Hotel, Dover, on Saturday afternoon, and after partaking of some refreshment (having travelled with great speed through France), proceeded on his journey to London. The contents of these dispatches were forwarded to the KING, at the Lodge in Windsor Park, by. a. Messenger, after the arrival of Mr. Secretary CANNING at the Foreign Office. Yesterday morning, a - Messenger arrived in London with letters from the Loan LIEUTENANT of Ireland to the Earl of LIVERPOOL. His Lord ship arrived in town at eleven o'clock yesterday,' and transacted official business at his house itt Whitehall till half.past three o'clock,. when he left town on his return to Coombe Wood.

TILE ARTS.—Mr. %VESTA LL is very forward with a large picture, that is doubtless intended for an A Iter,piece, and probably by• commis stott, as he has been employed on similar works which have been devoted to that purpose. The point of time in the work which we now notice, is immediately after the crusifixion, when the body of our Saviour bad been assigned to his mother and friends. The figures represent the body at length in the foreground, Mary the Mother, having fainted with agony, Mary the Mother of James, supporting her, Mary Mag dalen weeping in front, Joseph of Arimathea behind, beholding the awful melancholy scene,und two of the Apostles sharing in his emotions. The whole scene is finely imagined, and makes a solemn and affecting impression on the mind. The figure of Joseph is highly dignified, and the face, in particular, admirably conceiv ed and executed. As the Picture, though far advanCed, is far from being finished, we shall reserve our remarks to a future perlOd, only observing, that this Artist, who is to justly (Ls tinguished for his treatment of atICII subjects, has fully equalled himself upon the present occa sion, and we trust that his work will not be con sigued to any distant church, but be placed in some conspicuous Sacred Edifice, where it may at once obtain the suffrage of judicious criticism, and more extensively arouse those pions feelings which such an edifice is intended to excite. We cannot conclude without noticing the various powers of this Artist. He has reeeutly finished four Dtaw . ngs on rustic subjects, that exhibit the progress of Infancy, domestic situations of an in teresting description, and such beautiful execu tion in colouring, expression, character, and scenery, as equal any former production of this kind from his admirable pencil. A NVausa or ONE IiUNDFICD OUncE'S Was decided this dq, at half-past.,two ii ENIt V HUNT, junior, drove bis Blacking Cara van and four horses over the Serpentiue Myer and back, without the slightestappareet difficultY.

Tut 1V EATIIE)I, 7 A t o'clock yesterday afternoon, the fog in the city was: as dense us %?ei ever recollect to have known it. Lamps and candles were lighted in all the shops and offices, and the carriages in the streets dared not exceed a foot puce, notwithstanding which it is feared many serious accideuts have occurred, as the pavement was also in a very slippery state, and several horses fell down. At the same time, five miles from tow'', the atmosphere was clear and unclouded, with a brilliant sun. Fahrenheit's thermometer stood at ]4 degrees at eight o'clock yesterday morning. Pine.—About eleven o'clock lasOnight, the dwelling-hous e of M r . JA M ES Y OUNG ,,grocer,.of Fountain-place, Bayswater, was nearly destroyed by lire, owing to the neglect of u servant leaving a lighted candle close to the window curtains of the childrens sleeping-room. The blase of the curtains, &c. attracted the notice of an opposite neighbour, and an alarm being given by him, the most active tneasures were adopted to cl: ve oc r k e the progress of the dreadful eletileolt which not subdued_. for above an hour, where it had gutted the entire of the upper 'part of the house.

T H Tr! EAT R CoveNT-Gannest.—As Mr. Ci KnipLE is to ue considered as the legitimate inheritor of all the tragic parts that were performed by his bro ther, we were not so touch surprised that he last night assumed the part of Othello, as that he had not before under taken it. The character, by its wonderful Author, is admirably compounded of tenderness and fury, and though he is generally considered as too credulous, it should he recol lected that since his" arms had seven years pith, he had used their dearest action in the tented field." He adds, that " little of this great world could he spak," and therefore credulity was the unavoidable result of his "circumstances," to adopt the doctrine of the Lanark Philosopher. Out without entering into a nice analysis of the character of Whale, we certainly do not con sider the part as affording such a test of theatri cal merit as the critics seem to suppose. It is not a character of artifice, perfidy, and hypo crisy like that of Ingo, which demands much greater skill in the performance. Othello has only to storm when he is angry, and to be kind when he is pleased. The gradual rise of suspi cion and jealousy when worked upon by /ago, are the chief calls upon the skill of the performer, the rest is a demand upon his passions, whether of the furious or of-tin' milder sort. Even the declamatory passages, do not require that lofty grace which the critics seem to consider as essential. Othello has from infancy been a sol dier, and had no flint?, and cor(ainly cannot be supposed to have bad any. , disposition, to study Lord CIIESTERPIELD'S Graces. .An assumption of such graces would have been cOxcombry and ridiculous effectation. But it is time to advert to the performance. Mr. C. Kellam , . :last night brought to the part a Rue person, and an open and digeitied manner, but no formality of atti tudes. lie spoke distinctly and impressively in his Address to the Semite, •end after that scene 110 declamation was required ; for Othello is nib... sequently resigned to tenderness, to jealousy, and to fury, except in the last scene, where he mo ralizes on . the justice of his intended revenge. Mr. KEIIIILE, by the whole of his performance, had •an evident conception of the part, and has certainly added to his reputation as a Tragic Actor. We will not enter into the examination of slight faults,. , . as, on the whole the actor gave u masterly support to the character, and which will doubtless, on r e . petition, having tried his powers, appear to more advantage. Ile was throughout so much ap plauded us to justify his perseverance in the per formance. We would, however, to show-that we are not mere panegyrists, suggest to him that his jealousy did not seem to be sufficiently aroused under the intigutions of logo; but we suppose that Othello's fondness for Desdemona, his firm dependence on her honour,. which had pre. viously , induced him to exclaim " My lifer upon her faith," end the nntartil frankn ess o f t h e character, induced Mr. KEMBLE to tilitik Clint he should not too suddenly take the alarm, as it would be in opposition to all those' feelings and ilersuasions. Still we advise him to re-consider ,the scenes in question. ,Miss joNrs performed besdemona with great feel* and good sense.--- Mr. WARM: has fully entairtned the good opinion of the town his excellent performance of logo. Mr. COOPER deserves great praise for his Cossio, though some of the Morning Critics are against Ititn. FARLEY'S Raderigo has always been a diverting performance. The play altogether was brought forward with due embellishments, and supported in a manner worthy of one of the chief MetrUpolitan Theatres. A S'ELECiIoN of SACRED MUtiIC,, 1u two parts, was last night pertbrmed on the organ, at St. Bride's church, by Mr. Ai AT Eit, the organist of th e p ar i s h.
